Yep. Possibly an app issue. I don't use mine but for phone calls and Apple Music.
Got a tip for us?

Mine updated to 6.3.2 as well. It took a few minutes, and checks, but they finally did
I was able to get it to appear by force-quitting Settings. Faster than a full reboot, anyway…
Great app choices! If you like NGEN, you should also check out the WAY Now Music radio app too. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/way-now-music/id1037911428?mt=8
Mine updated and I can’t tell any difference. I use mine every day and if there is a difference I can’t notice. I do feel that they connect a lot faster than before.
i kept checking settings -> general -> about -> airpods. went back up a few levels and went back to check the firmware again. probably did this 8 times opening and closing the airpods and it finally updated from 3.7.2 to 6.3.2. FWIW the case only had 30% battery.
i did notice that while on the airpods page, it automatically kicked me up one level while my airpods case was opened. my guess is that it rebooted.
i did not reboot my phone at all.

Yep, I have that one too just didn't test it right then but it works as expected. Must be the Sports Day app.
thanks,
I thought connection was really fast today - and then I saw news about the firmware update. 
Good update! Almost instant change between iPhone/iPhad. Connection change had been a PITA since previous iOS update.
Still waiting for st*pid UKMail/DHL Parcel to deliver the gen2's. (7pm uk)

Not sure when the firmware kicked in, but I am not yet on 12.2 and the new firmware is showing. I guess it sounds better? Hard to really tell.
I got mine to update after removing them and re-pairing them to the phone. It never prompted me about an upgrade, but after pairing, it showed the latest firmware. (Possibly I just needed to be more patient???)
My impression after the update has been improved call quality, connection speed, and stability after connecting.
Went into "About" and it didn't show the update. Closed the lid and reopened and the update was there. Pretty painless.
I got the update as well, sometime between updating to 12.2 last night and this morning. Haven’t seen any info on the update.
As soon as I updated the firmware, I noticed that mine connected to my iPhone right away as compared to the last several months that I often had to manually connect them via the Airplay button.
Just checked - my AirPods are on 6.3.2 and my phone is still on 12.1.4. Also haven't charged the case in a couple of days.
I've tried everything suggested here but I don't know if update was done. I can't find anything, anywhere on my phone that gives me information about my Airpods. They are connected and work.
UPDATE: There's an old saying that was used in aircraft maintenance in the Air Force "you gotta be smarter than the equipment you're using ". I updated my phone to 12.2, re-paired then reconnected Airpods. To find the information on the Airpods I need to have them "connected" not just paired. I opened the Airpods case, then went to Settings>General>About and scrolled to bottom of page and voila my Airpods were listed there. Tapped on that and a new screen opened showing all my info. I am on firmware 6.3.2.
Thanks to those folks that pointed me in this direction. Learn something everyday

Here’s what I had to do: put AirPods on charger, open case top (leave AirPods in), On phone go to settings, Bluetooth, AirPods should say “Connected”, then tap on them (not the information button but the AirPods name), it won’t appear to do anything but at this point back out to main Settings, go to General, About, then scroll down a bit and you should see your airpods below the modem information, when I first checked it was still 3.7.2, I closed Settings, let it sit for a minute, opened the same Settings —> About screen again, and they were updated.
